Heard this on Radio Derby sports round up tonight. Remember a bit of fuss about Derby demanding a six figure fee for his release prior to going Matlock. Turns out he went to Sheff Utd with all those plaudits for £10,000. Bit of an odd one that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Is he the one with the pushy dad who thought we weren’t good enough for his son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Mel or the academy wanted to make a point about signing contracts, commitment being 2 ways and that we had invested timiand money in him. Kid was 15 though and just being ruled and/or led by his father; so kind of harsh on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly radio Derby were incorrect. There was an initial figure of £10/15,000 with the rest in add ons. So the kid did actually go for a fee similar to the one being touted about originally.

It was never about whether DCFC weren’t good enough, it was about the academies conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with the academy sayino futsal, your here to try to.be a poroper footballer, but to.be released its full compo rate. Seemed like hardball played from our side over it, dad n kid played victim in a pr spin move. An unfortunate situation all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the deal also involved a Sheffield United academy player (or two) at younger ages moving to Derby Academy without compensation on top of that 10k fee. So it's not as big as a climb down by Derby as it might look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
